How would you like to get the benefits of one cardio session per week, without having to do any work? Sounds great, doesn’t it? Well, all you have to do is eat more protein.
That’s right, eat to burn calories.
Greek researchers gave 30 women a meal rich in either protein or fat in tests spaced one week apart. And they found that diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT - calorie-burning caused by the digestive process) was three times greater after the protein meal than after the fat meal. The scientists concluded that, over the long term, a low DIT associated with eating fat may contribute to the development and maintenance of obesity.
To benefit from this information, base your meals on lean protein sources and fruits and vegetables. Substitute broiled chicken breasts for fried chicken, grass-fed beef for ordinary hamburger, and poached fish filets for breaded shrimp.

Is Your Meal Packed with Endocrine Disruptors?
Many foods – from farm-raised fish and conventional meats, to fruits and veggies grown with chemicals– contain potent molecules that harm your endocrine system: the interconnected network of hormones.
Many of these stealthy chemicals promote weight gain and cancer, affect fertility and can even strongly promote the development of breasts in men. Learn which foods to eat (and which to avoid) to preserve your hormonal harmony. See Organics: Beyond Green.
